I keep learning about various Makita saws and each time I get interested, I'm hoping it's blue but, nope, it's orange! I suppose I'm in the minority but I am drawn to that blue smurf color scheme. What's up with so much orange now? Is there a general statement that can be made about blue color no longer available? USA or just what is going on with that? Like, right now, I am looking at 35cc to 50cc saws. Last week, it was bigger saws but I'm over that, lol. TIA!
 
Uk has blue Makita. I just got a 6100. Loved the little 420/4300/421 or what ever they call them now. Great great great little saw. Knocked the little ms241 I had out the park imo

USA+Canada: Makita gas RED, Makita electric BLUE
Europe: Dolmar RED, Makita BLUE and both can be gas or electric - depends on the market

When did this change? It must have been within the last year cause I was looking at a catalogue in 2018 and they were all blue here in canada

I’m with you. I love the blue. I scored a 6401 a while back in blue. Love it. Just a sexy looking saw IMO and the muffler and top cover on mine are blacked out. Love the blue/black scheme.
 
Here is a few pics of my 6401.
